: Forgive me, but have you ever considered a simpler make system with
standard
: include files for options? I think most programmers are much more
: comfortable working with a 1200 line include file than a 1200 line long
: makefile.
Which 1200 line makefiles are you talking about? I'm interested
in a simpler make system, but I'm not really tracking what you're
suggesting. If you're talking about xconfigure, that's not really
part of the make system, but a config file generator.
:
: As a side note, I'm finally getting enough time to start work on a VxWorks
: port. I'll be trying to get it running on a MIPSR3000(big endian mode)
with
: an IGST Cyberpro 5050 on the PCI bus.
Cool.
In the process, I'd really like to
: restructure the make system and the directory tree. If its O.K. with
: everyone, I'd like to make this alternate configuration available for
: feedback.
I'm always up for a simpler make system, I'd like to hear your
suggestions before you go to the trouble of rewriting it, to
better ensure it's inclusion. What are you thinking of in terms of the
directory tree?
:
: Another side note: The GPL'd code still exists in the tree I got from CVS
: last night. I don't know how much everyone cares, but that is a problem
: because the GPL (from what I read at
: http://gnu.sote.hu/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses)
is
: not compatible with the MPL. So we're not allowed to link the two
together.
: Also it presents a problem for commercial developers(like myself) who
: respect the wishes of the FSF(even though we may think they're highly
: annoying! :) ).
Which files are you talking about? I'm only aware of one file which
I used about two routines, in the arc/pie stuff. There should be no
other GPL files in the distribution, other than complete applications
like nxscribble that don't get linked with the server.
Regards,
Greg
